Oh what talent you have ...... it is amazing ... almost picture perfect words cant describe how wonderful this drawing is... if i send you a pic of me would you drap me im so silly .... wee keep up the great work cause we all know that you are doing it
Thanks guys! i like the kind words i had a series artist block for a month or two so it feels good to be back and to be encouraged.
Love the hat!! I agree on the glasses, they turned out great. Artist block here too lately. If it wasn't for the requests I probably would still be sulking around without my sketch pad. lol Good to see your stuff again, keep 'em coming.
Thanks i gave it to him tonight he liked it alright but hes a artist and said i needed to draw from my mind
Crystal, I really think that portrait is outstanding. Not everyone can do what you do in the way that you do it. It's exceptional in its dimensionality. You have your own style & don't need to draw like anything or anyone. That was my biggest stumbling block in art school. When given a project I would immediately try to think of whose style I was going to emulate. In time, we develop our own style. Your stuff is very natural, yet reminds me in some ways of some intensely detailed masterful work. It's almost etched. But you are your own person & very different. You can be compared to someone without trying to be like them. There are influences that surface in everyone's work since no one is an island. "I think, therefore I am." Whether Music or Visual art. In striving for photographic realism in art or displaying photographs as art themselves; no matter if you are drawing from reference materials taken by your own eye & camera or drawing from your head or memory, it doesn't matter because the creative expression is a product of you & you alone & you don't need to live up to anyone else's standards. It all has its merits & rewards. Somebody's always going to say something we don't like or agree with but that doesn't make it so. Don't let it stop you from doing it your way. I like your art & I'd put you in a show tomorrow. You need the thing I wrote & send out about photographing for archiving your artwork & matting & framing for sale, then let me know. I want to get everybody together on July 1st in Fort Worth. It's not unusual to have 40 artists show up which is not a problem. I just am very close to leaving & so I want to lean on the gallery owner & not have to do al the organization on my own. But I've already done most of the footwork & put instructions on paper & that gets everybody on the same page. I have several artists that I think would qualify & an excellent sculptor. But you need to get these final instructions on matting, framing & hanging & I don't send them out unless I know people are in. Let me know.
